you could use the system(); command from php for one, on the other hand,
you may want to try to run some background cgi....
theres plenty of ways to call commands from a webpage...

That didn't answer the OP's question. You should specify what platform
you are working under. Under Windows, using stdin to fill in the fields
is difficult (if not impossible) because the password field does not use
stdin but rather the Console APIs.
Personally, I think there should be a command-line option to define
those fields in a URL-encoded format. That would go a long way to
eliminating the .cnf files, which, under Windows, are considered to be a
special file type such that they can't be opened in notepad very easily.
